Changing Times

• A new Government
• A downsizing of the state

We will change structures so that public sector
provision is more open to voluntary
organisations, social enterprises and small
businesses. We will help shift the balance of
activities away from the state and empower people
and communities by catalysing the creation of
cooperatives, mutuals and joint
ventures. Cabinet Office Business Plan
